Instrumentation: Get to know op amps; use a curve tracer: For the out of the ordinary application, it is not surprising to find op amp spec sheets wanting
John Mulvey, Jack Millay · IEEE Spectrum · 1974
Describes the application of a transistor curve tracer to measure operational amplifier characteristics, test, circuits and results are shown. Open loop gain, input offset, common mode rejection, power supply rejection, supply rejection, supply current/supply voltage, and noise measurement and curves are described.
